Then Preopher Sims received a call to the pastorate of a church at Clover. He was to preac. hthere twice each. mont and to be.paid $10 per Sunday. He still d-sired to hold on as pastor at St. John's. It suited his conven ience to change the time of service at St. John's from the second and fourth Sundays to the first and third. Some 'of the members rebelled at this, and the situation became more complex. Some time ago several members of the minority faction in the church report ed to the authorities in Sharon that Rev. Sims had said he "didn't care nothing about white ladies Sand didn't mind pushing them off the streets; they were no better than etc." According to information received yesterday these statements were in vestigated and it was proved that Rev. Sims had said no such thing. The members of his church who made the report admitted that they lied. I. Isaiah Williams, a negro man who lived some distance from the home of Burris was awakened by the shooting and shouting. He started to the scene of the difficulty and met the mob carrying Sims down the road. He fol lowed, keeping himself concealed. He heard them cursing and beating Sims; he heard Sims cry out once or twice. '-He did not i-ecognize anybody because he could not see. Nobody knew he was around. He knew of no trouble in which Sims had been engaged ex cept that about. his own church and the talk about white women and that had been satisfactorily cleared up. No negro at the scene of the trag edy yesterday, and The Enquirer re porter talked with a score of them, could ascribe any motive for the crime. Several women, members of the dead preacher's church went into hysterics at the sight of his dead body and the woods resounded with their cries. "Oh, God," moaned a woman, "if the white people will not take care of us, what is to become of us!" It appeared to be a great mystery to the negroes, whether it is or not. That minority members of the church jshould be involved is plausible; there was no theory as to why whites should be engaged unless it be that they had decided to beat up Sims for the alleged remarks he made about white women. So far as could be learned, Preacher Sims bore a good reputation both among whites and negroes of the Sharon and Locust Hill sections among whom he had come and gone for more than thirteen years. Several people said he was inclined to be impudent; nobody specified. Rev. Sims was a powerful speci men, physically. le was more than 6 feet in height and weighed consid erably more than 200 pounds. le is said to have been a man' of limited education; but a good organizer and one who held the respect of large numbers of negroes.-Yorkville En quirer. COAL COMMITTEE MAKES RULING Washington, Aug. 27.-Three points in the coal price-fixing situation which have caused more or less con cern to operators wvere cleared up todlay by Chairman Peabody, of the coal committee of the Council of Na tional Defense.

IS WEALTHY FARMER "It Certainly Has Made a New Man of Me," He Says-Held Public Office 20 Years. "I can pick up a log of wood and throw it on the fire with as much ease as I could 20 years ago,", said Judge M. L. Woodson, of Jericho, Ark., in telling of the remarkable re sults he has gotten from Tanlac. Judge Woodson, who is now 70 years of age, served the entire four years pf the Civil War. le lived two years in Memphis right after the war and then settled down at his present estate, where he has lived for 50 years. Judge Woodson said his only possesions when he started out for himself were a pair of mules and $38 in ca'sh. He has made his for tune farming and trading and is now probably the wealthiest planter in Critenden County. He served two years as tax assessor and twenty years as justice of the peace, and is one of the most prominently known men of Arkansas. "I had been in a generally run down condition and failing health for 10 or 12 years," he continued, "and for the past 10 years I wasn't able to get on my horse from the ground; I had to lead him up to a block or something before I coul l mount. Jericho is a mile and a hal from my plantation, and I hadn't been able to walk there for my mail, as had been my custom, for a year or two. I had lost my appetite and could hardly eat anything at all. I realize a man 70 years old will give way, but I got so I could not put a log of wood on the fire when the negroes were not handy. .My doctor wouldn't allow me to eat any meats or much else except vegetables, as I had been threatened with diabetes; but Tanlac has even straightened me out in that respect. I was badly out of sort; and it looked like nothing I could take would do me any good or give me enough strength to look after my farm hands and my crops. "Last spring, when Tanlac began to be advertised and everybody was talking about it, I decided to see what it would do for me. Well, it got me started back up hill at once; but, without going into details about my rapid improvement with each bottle, I'll just say that after taking six bottles I could straddle my horse from the ground and walk that mile and a half for my mail with all ease. In fact, it just built me up until I felt 20 years younger. I'm more active and have more strength and energy than I've had in 20 years. That's what Tanlac has (lone for me. I don't know what Tanlac has in it that does you so much good, but whatever it is, it certainly hits the spot and builds you up better than anything I ever saw. It certainly madle a new man of me and I've told a lot of people about it. My wife has taken it too, and it has built her up won derfully. And I've bought lots of it for my negroes and it has helped all of them that have taken it." Tanlac, the Master Medicine is sold1 by Dickson's Drug Store, Man ning; L. W.

CONGRESS IS IREADY TO SPEND IABERALLY P'erfection of Standardized Motor Makes P'ossible Building of Several Typ'Ies for Service at European Fronts. Washington, Aug. 20.--Congress is readly to appropriate $1,000,000,000 more to enlarge the American aircraft program. Administration leaders have giv'en this definite assurance concern ing newv plans which are now being worke'd out by the War Department. F~or military reasons these plans are kept secret, but it can be saidl that the highly successful tests of the new standlardlized Un i ted States airplane motor have convinced military e'xperts that quantity production should be stimulated to the limit of A merica's manufacturing power. The new program of the govern m(ent will broaden /upon a vast scale the original aircraft construction plans and wvill have them effect of plac ing on the French front a far greater number of fighting machines at a date much earlier than was first contem plated. The War Department officials (directing.-aircraft work are said to be confident that thousands of Ameri can-madle machines wil be ready for service in France early next spring. Senator Morris Sheppard, of Texas, one of the most prominent and influ ential members of the senate military affairs committee, today reflected the view of his colleagues in the assertion that any additional sum the presi. (lent and advisers may deeam ne-.. sary for further fexendIng the caft progran 14i be quickly forth-"; coming, c o"Act Promptly. "Just as soon as. the War Depart=, nient says $1,000,000,000 is needed fo more aircraft, it will be provided with out a doubt," Senator Sheppard said. 'Of course, the necessity for it must be sliwn, but when that is made clear congres will. act and act without de lay." Oficials' have let it be -known, how ever, that the standardized motor has speed, durability and reliability co ordinated with high power ratio to each pound. of weight. "Under the plans upon which aero plane factories are now working, three distinct types of machirce will be turned out for service upon the French front. These are the small swift ma chines designed for air duels and for use to screen observers and bombing craft; ,daylight bombing machinessuf ficiently swift to minimize the danger of anti-aircraft guns and large enough to carry observers, radio and bombs, and the night bombing machines which are built for carrying capacity rather than speed." 0 BAKER MAKING INVESTIGATION "Nebro-in-Army" Question Now Sub ject of Thorough Probe. Washington, Aug. 27.-Secretary of War Baker today told Senator Shep pard, of Texas, that the recent Hous ton affair had given him (the Secre tary) an opportunity to bring up for thorough investigation and considera tion the whole question of the negro in the army in all its phases, and that the department hoped to reach a conclusion which would be to the best interests of all concerned after making this new and complete sur vey of the subject. Senator Sheppard was decidedly encouraged at the close of the interview.
